why Unix users hate Linux?

In my case I don't like Linux because of how the Linux kernel is designed and the kind of people Linux attracts (yeah, all those 14 year old 1337 h4x0rZ who claim to be something they're not).

ok, ut which is the advantage? why the kernel of linux that u said is different are not good? I'm a newbie and linux user and I love it, the stability is amazing and I saw some screeshots of Unix, the pure unix itself and scare me because looks very diffivcult to manage, even in linux u have to know at least some commands

A lot of the *BSD users bashing Linux are just bitter that almost nobody cares for their old-and-proven OS anymore (same for Theo, who talks bad about Linux's design without ever having looked at the sourcecode). Problem with most of those guys is that they know next to nothing about the Linux kernel... It's somewhat similar to UNIX but follows completely different design and development paradigms (same with the 2.4/ 2.6 bull many people spread). But hey, that's old - a while ago, I found a website from some self proclaimed BSD-crack bashing Linux, based on Linux features from before Linux 2.0 - the thing is, Linux has beaten BSD in pretty much everything mentioned on the website these days. :-)

I've never seen a valid complaint regarding the Linux development model, still, the discussion continues...

I saw in couple of news computer sites that OpenBSD users hate Linux, I don't understand why or what is the advantage of Unix over Linux, if Linux is a clone of Unix and is a lot more easy than the Unix itself, any unix user in here can answer to this question, thanks

Many reasons:

1) Many dislike the GPL

2) Some dislike the architecture of the Linux OS

3) Some dislike Linux's stability and reliability problems

4) Some are frustrated with the various forks, schizms, and distribution craziness in the linux world.

Might be others, who knows.

Honestly, I use both FreeBSd and Linux. I use Linux for my desktops because of its better hardware support, and better overall 3rd party support e.g. Flashplayer.

I personally just prefer having a split world and userland like FreeBSD does because it helps their stability, my main example; there is no need to check its ports again 150 different versions of GCC, they just have to support the one in world tools. I don't want to start a portage vs. ports argument here, but portage is just WAY too unstable to use in a production environment, and since I believe that source is what you should use in a server due to choice and performance, Linux really leaves you no other option. Sure, you can build anything from source on any distro, but try keeping 20 different packages built from source upgraded without a tool like cvsup or emerge, let alone an entire system. FreeBSD's ports really win in that category. Let's not even get into filesystem heirarchy, or lack thereof.

I was unaware that a gigantic internet company like Yahoo! was noone? http://uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph?site=www.yahoo.com

Don't take this as a troll, because I love Linux, but I found this website a while ago: http://www.linuxisforbitches.com/

That expresses some of the problems BSD users have with Linux. Check out their forums if you're looking to argue any of those points. I don't know if the mods or original poster want it carried on here.

Hey, that's really cool - http://www.linuxisforbitches.com/ is the best anti-BSD advertisement I've ever seen, I think I'll never take *BSD users serious again! Poor little creatures: "my OS might be old, slow and uncool, but hey - I have a huge dick!" Come on, I thought this was about operating systems... ;-)

3) The kernel has one job: to keeping the system up, running and stable, not to serve web content - I don't care if it's faster from the kernel.

umm... shouldnt keeping a system up, running and stable be 3 jobs? :blink:

Every *nix admins who respect themselves knows that *BSD makes a better job on mission critical server

Ok enough.

To continue this utterly humorous thread, every *nix admin that respects themselves knows Solaris does a better job on mission critical servers than BSD ever will! :devil:

Worth their salt AND pepper... Now, I'd go out on a limb and say that Linux is more secure than Windows 2000 OOTB, but not 2003. And after doing the additional lockdowns (needed with Linux too... you real *nix people know what I'm talking about), it's a tough argument...

    • That would have been a so much better UX that what it is right now. I know that after a few moment of trying/failing to recognize you in the dark it goes back to PIN selection. But if the light sensor would detect the dark light, showing the PIN field while continuing for a brief moment to register your face would work better.
    • Oh ! This is why... Like some of you, i used Windows Hello since the Surface Pro 4. It worked really well for so long on many devices and still use it everyday with my desktop and laptop. I couldn't understand why it wasn't working as well as before in the dark. Why is Microsoft (as a company) in its UX decisions so anti-consumer right now ? -_-"
    • Zen Browser 1.13.2b is out.
    • KDE Plasma 6.4 launches, bringing better window management, improved KRunner, and more by David Uzondu It's finally here. After several weeks of development, KDE Plasma 6.4 has been rolled out, delivering a ton of significant refinements across the entire UX, from how you manage windows to how you see notifications. The biggest deal for power users is probably the increased flexibility in window management. Plasma 6.4 now allows you to set a completely different tiling layout for each virtual desktop. You can have a simple 50/50 split screen on one desktop for writing, and on another, have a complex grid with two apps snapped to the sides and two others floating in the middle. On the visual side, the default Breeze Dark theme got a little darker for better contrast, and when a password box pops up, the rest of the screen dims to help you focus. There is also a new Animations page in System Settings, which groups all the purely visual effects in one place so you can find them easily. The file transfer notification now shows a speed graph, giving you a much better idea of how a download is progressing. The system will even pop up a notice if you try talking into a muted microphone, and you can install system updates right from the notification that tells you they are ready. When you are in a full-screen application like a game or watching a movie, Plasma automatically enters a Do Not Disturb mode, holding back notifications until you are done. Plasma 6.3, which was released last February, brought several features, including a "Help" category to the launcher after getting rid of the "Settings" one. Now, Plasma 6.4 gives the application launcher a green New! tag next to recently installed apps to help you find them. KRunner and Spectacle, two of the most powerful utilities in Plasma, also received some serious attention. KRunner now lets you visualize colors just by typing in their hex code or even CSS names like "MintCream" or the ridiculous "PapayaWhip." The tool will then show you what that color looks like and give you its code in other formats. Spectacle, the screenshot tool, has been completely overhauled. Pressing the Print Screen key now immediately puts you in selection mode, letting you grab a region or the whole screen much faster before jumping straight into the annotation tools. Screen recordings made in the WebM format or on screens with fractional scaling have also seen a massive quality boost. The Bluetooth widget is getting smarter with better device recognition and easier pairing (we touched on this last month). People with nice monitors will appreciate the new HDR calibration wizard in the display settings. Plasma can also now handle Extended Dynamic Range and the P010 video format, improving power efficiency with HDR content. Digital artists were not left out either. Configuring the buttons on a stylus is "much more intuitive," and you can easily reset your tablet's calibration if you mess it up. Finally, there is a lot of work under the hood. The System Monitor can now show GPU usage for Intel and AMD hardware on a per-process basis and has a new Sensors page for nerds who want to see raw temperature data. When you drag and drop files on the same disk, you can now set it to always move them instead of asking what to do every time. The browser integration feature now supports the Flatpak versions of Firefox and Chromium-based browsers. All of this is built on top of support for a slew of new Wayland protocols, like "FIFO", "toplevel tag," and more. For more information, you can check out the official announcement post, as well as the full changelog.
